Please read my previous post please. And tell me honestly if you think I'm evil!

i agree with all the posts on here, you are not evil but there certainly are some sad evil bullies on FB,:mad: report them and then delete your account.
give yourself time to grieve and then decide if you really want to walk away from horse ownership.

And i'm really sorry you have been through such an awful time.x
 
She sounds like she is upset and completely irrational. Maybe she should speak to your vet to hear for herself the reasons why you made your decision-the xrays etc should speak for themselves..
You have been very brave and put your horses needs and well being first, please ignore these idiots. I know its very hard but in time you might feel ready for another horses...in the meantime inform the police of the threats and stay off facebook x
 
If it was vet recommended u made a brave decision. Ignore the bunny hugging idiots who think it is kinder to cuddle an animal in pain than get it medical help. Very brave person and ur animals are very lucky. If ur vet was not happy with the idea maybe u should be thinking. I suspect ur vet recommended and u are brave and kind, from reading ur posts. In which case u have my support and understanding for what it's worth.
 
The vets were 100 % sure nothing could be done for him. It was in both fronts, my vets partner is on maternity leave and came with him on nearly every visit. So it was not only one vets opinion it was 2. It's just sometimes when people say horrid things about you, doubt starts to creep in. She's even saying I have Munchausens syndrome and named me after that nurse who murdered her patients. I really thought she knew nothing about his lameness, now I'm not so sure.
 
It makes me sick that people would prefer to watch a horse suffer for the rest of its life than make as brave a decision as you have.
You clearly care about the welfare of your animals, they are just selfish.
 
The old owner sounds like a complete fruit loop, if she cared so much for the horse then why did she sell.

On selling him she cut all strings and it is non of her business what you did.

You did every thing possible and a qualified vet said nothing could be done.

You have done nothing wrong
 
I think you have your answer from folk who know what they are talking about here... I used to want to save every horse in my care no matter how old and sick they were. .... i grew out of that when i was 10. Don t give up on horses just give up on facebook!
 
Reads to me that previous owner knew horse had lameness issues, and sold him on to you knowing that. You did what was right for your horse, you have had a run of bad luck recently and if you choose to get out of horses completely that's your decision.
Report the facebook bullies to the police and facebook, copy the page for evidence. Then delete.
No one has the right to do this to you regardless of how many animals you have lost recently, you did the best for your animals, better a min too soon than too late.
I lost 2 pets in 2 days last year and it broke my heart to have to make the decision but I couldn't put them through anymore pain once I knew they were suffering. ((((Big hugs))))
 
If the previous owner was so concerned about his welfare then she should never have sold an unsound horse in the first place. You did exactly the right thing to prevent suffering and I would take the necessary action against the threats and then completely ignore the perpetrators.

I recently had my two beloved old dogs pts within five weeks of each other aged 13 and 14 and have had some surprised reactions as they looked fine out on a walk - but those people didn't see the lack of appetite, vomiting and discomfort that one dog was suffering and the other was developing bloat so badly, I think due to tumours as he was covered, he couldn't sit or lie down and was in severe pain. I got another dog a few weeks later. I have no doubts that I did the right thing and although it is the hardest thing to do I couldn't bear to have to watch an animal endure suffering because I was too selfish to let them go.

I hope that things settle down for you soon.

As you will read from my previous posts I've had a recent run of bad luck. I now have a hate campaign running on Facebook saying I'm evil and should have a gun to my head and be shot,

My crime is having my horse of only 10 months PTS because he was very lame with Coffin joint ringbone. Because I brought him the day after having my horse of 4 years PTS I'm evil.

I'm accused of doing it for the insurance money. I have the vet out every week, apparently looking for things that are not their. My dog was also PTS 2 years ago. Which is also why I should be shot.

I should never be allowed to keep animals again, and they feel sorry for my Labrador I have now and I should be banned from keeping animals. Sadly I'm not going to have another horse now because of what these people have said.

I've always done everything I can for my best friends, taken them to the vets when they have been ill. I'm so surprised that people can be so cruel.

And know that it came as a shock to his previous owner, and I was under no obligation to tell her he had been PTS but i did. To which I was told I should of waited for her to come and say goodbye before I did it.

Sorry for the ramble but i hoped that you of all people could give me your honest opinions on what you think I've done wrong, if anything? Thanks for reading x

I would just tell them (whoever they are) to F** K OFF
 
She definately needs reporting to the police, and possibly psychiatric assessment herself. Sorry you're having to go through this at such a sad time.
 
I have owned Mollie for only 5 months, but I wouldn't expect her previous owner to have a say in anything I did, it's none of her business now.

Your horse's previous owner sold the horse. Probably knowing there were problems, but either way, she sold it. She has no right to be doing or saying any of these things, you are a responsible owner who has done the right thing by this poor animal.

Sadly there are a lot of "groups" on facebook run by stupid, ignorant people with the sole aim of bullying individuals. As for the threats, I agree with other people, keep a record and contact the police.
 
Once she sold the horse to you, it is no business of hers what you do. FWIW it sounds as though you have acted in horse's best interests. I suspect she feels guilty about what has happened to the horse. Don't take any notice of the FB group, athough do report it
 
You poor thing.
There is life beyond facebook (I don't have an account so can say that!). Delete your account, you will get used to not having it. BUT do as people have said report her to the police.
 
^^this
Sounds to me that you bought the horse and did everything for him that previous owner should have done. She should be thanking you, not criticising you.
Your horse, your decision - well done for doing right by him :)
 
I also want to add my support to you - you did the right thing for your horse in letting him go. Perhaps you should ask her how she missed the fact the horse had such severe problems when she owned it? Perhaps ask her why she sold on a lame horse if she cared so much about it? What a psycho, she also sounds like a stalker so report her and her friends for that and for death threats too. Hope the police get them all sorted - let us know what happens xxxx
 
Not knowing any details.

But I'm sure you did everything you could for all if your animals.
Knowing when it was right with.the help if vets regardless if how long you have owned them.

Ignore those stupid people.
They don't know the facts.

It shouldn't stop you having other animals, just find s nice yard with decent people.
